At least, I slept like one. Eight and a half hours of uninterrupted sleep. My back feels great and I’m completely refreshed. I took two Tylenol PMs and hit the sack around 9:30 and didn’t get up until 6:30. How come I’m getting to sleep in? I have a full day of training today at another location so DS is taking the boys to school. I usually leave the house around 6:45 but I don’t have to be at the training site till 8:00 and it’s only 10 minutes from home so I get an extra hour this morning. Of course, I have to work until 3:00 today but I never get out of school before 3:00 anyway so it’s still going to be a shorter day.

We changed the water in the spa yesterday and it’s all fresh and doesn’t smell like chlorine so I went out there and had a nice soak when I woke up. It’s cloudy so I couldn’t see the stars but the moonflowers were definitely “in scent” and it still smells like summer even though the leaves are beginning to fall pretty quickly and the mornings are getting a lot cooler. I’d probably still be out there but I drained my coffee cup and had to come in for a refill.

Better get moving and take my shower. Have a good one, Ladies!

8:00 p.m. - Just finished washing both cars.  I have a white Lincoln and DH has a black Lincoln.  Hard to say which one shows more dirt.  I drove DGS to CAP earlier and my car was so dirty I was embarrassed to be seen  in it.  We haven’t had much rain this summer and everything is so dry and dusty.  Of course, Ike really helped stir up the dirt and dust.  I got home from delivering Steven and decided to wash my car.  DH hit me with “Are you crazy?  It’s almost dark.”  After a few seconds to reflect, he added, “Want to wash mine, too?”  What’s the difference?  Once you set up the bucket and the rags and drag the hose all the way down the drive, you might just as well do two cars instead of one.

Today went well.  Got to see some friends that I haven’t seen since school let out in the spring.  Teachers from other schools and techies that work at Computer Education.  Nice to have a chance to say Hello.  We had a good meeting, too.  Intellectually stimulating conversation about digital citizenship, training, and a prize…a Flip video camera to use at our schools to put together podcasts.

Let’s don’t talk about food today.  We had lunch at Jason’s Deli and I had the salad bar but we all know a good salad bar isn’t exactly diet fare.  Especially that ice cold soft serve ice cream.

I’m really looking forward to hitting the bed.  I’m going to take a Tylenol PM again and cross my fingers that I sleep as well as I did last night.

In the great green room

There was a telephone

And a red balloon

And a picture of_

A cow jumping over the moon.

Goodnight, moon.
